Months are broad editorial suggestions for travel inspiration, not forecasts or a guarantee. Check local seasons, altitude and weather before booking.

Budget is a relative planning category, not a quote. Flights, dates, comfort level and activities change the total.

Useful considerations

Use this as a starting shortlist. Check entry requirements, local access rules, transport connections and current conditions with official sources. Allow extra time for distant areas; a marker identifies the destination, not a hotel or a specific attraction.
